"I think it broadsided [Rashad Evans], because they both make an agreement and all of a sudden someone reneges," Lawal said. "I would never fight Daniel (Cormier) definitely, and he would never fight me. But then all of a sudden if he went behind my back and said, 'I'll fight Mo' on T.V., and I don't know - that's a ho-move. And a ho-move deserves an [butt] whipping. I know none of my training partners that are my brothers would ever pull a ho-move like that. If I say I ain't going to fight my brother, I ain't going to fight my brother.
"I got brothers who I train with, I won't fight my training brothers. They can fire me and I will go to the WWE, I don't care. Rashad is a brother to me, why fight him if their are other options?"
Asked specifically about Jones, Lawal was complementary but cautioned against over-hyping the young champion.
"He's a good young fighter," Lawal said. "Here's the thing, every time there's a new champion people think he's unbeatable. C'mon man, anybody can get beat at anytime. Hype is just whatever the fans think. I'm not hyping no man. Anybody can get beat on any day. I don't care what the fans think, their not fighters. Everyone says Jon Jones smashed a high level striker. Shogun is just a sloppy brawler, not sloppy, but an aggressive brawler. People said nobody would beat Brock Lesnar, Fedor, B.J. Penn, Machida, look what happened. Every man can be beaten."
So how would a fight between the former Rashad Evans' training partner and the current one play out?
"Without a doubt I can beat Jon Jones," Lawal said. "I know I can beat Jon Jones. He's a good fighter, but all it takes is a good game plan, a good camp and I know I would win. My brother Rashad got the tools to beat him too. Rashad's going to beat him."
